Some other Rachel's that also died too young: Rachel Thaler was blown up at a pizzeria in an Israeli shopping mall. She died after an eleven days of fighting for her life in the hospital following a suicide bomb attack on a crowd of teenagers on February 16, 2002. Rachel Levy (17, blown up in a grocery store) Rachel Levi (19, shot while waiting for the bus) Rachel Gavish (killed with her husband, son and father while at home celebrating a Passover meal) Rachel Charhi (blown up while sitting in a Tel Aviv cafe, leaving three young children. Rachel Shabo (murdered with her three sons aged 5, 13 and 16 while at home). There are many more! If Israel is occupied then so is the USA and Australia... Don't believe me? Wanna see more about Rachel Corrie and a picture of her burning the flag? http://factsofisrael.com/blog/archives/000636.html Two simple questions explode the whole myth of the "occupation". 1. Before 1967, did the Gazan Arabs regard themselves as Palestinians "occupied" by Egypt? 2. Before 1967, did the West Bank Arabs regard themselves as Palestinians "occupied" by Jordan? Well, yes they did. Corrie was trying to block an army bulldozer that was knocking down homes of terrorists and buildings hiding tunnels through which weapons and explosives were being smuggled into Israel. These tunnels brought weapons from Egypt to the Gaza city of Rafiah. Some of those smuggled weapons probably responsible for the other Rachel's death above.So, in your version, she was a terrorist or terrorist aid even if unknowingly. And so her killer was right to kill her? It can't be murder if she deserved to die. Just another victim of Israel's policy of assassination, state assassination, right? More Nazi than the Nazis themselves comes to my mind. Any ideas on the Israeli terr... In April 2003, 21-year old Tom Hurndall was shot in the head in Gaza by an Israeli soldier as he tried to save the lives of three small children. Nine months later, he died, having never recovered consciousness. Emine Saner talks to his mother Jocelyn about her grief, her fight to make the Israeli army accountable for his death and the book she has written in his memory. 'My son lived a worthwhile life' another state assassination. Rachel Corrie, A Martyr's Voice As Powerful As That Of Ann Frank By David Truskoff 23 March, 2007 Countercurrents.org The new Jew: personified by the Israeli, muscular tanned Sabra, is a new breed far removed from the Image of the depression-emaciated holocaust Jew of the thirties and forties. He has a new body and a new mind. The transformation however has left the new Jew without the compassion and sensitivity that I loved about my families' Jewishness. ........ there has been, of course, young victims for both sides, none of them justified. Rachel Corrie did not deserve to die nor did the others. But governments and political strategies must be denounced. The western culture of war and suspicion is untenable. Until when the body count? The blame game? |
